Overview

Per the BRA, South Bay will be a new development near the South Bay Shopping Center in Dorchester. The mixed-use development will consist of five six-story buildings, containing 475 apartments, plus a 130-room hotel, 125,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and two parking garages.

Currently under construction, the project is being developed by EDENS and designed by Stantec. Per the BRA, “the project is configured to be very walkable in order to create a vibrant pedestrian atmosphere with lots of ground floor shops.” The area will also have open spaces, community gathering areas, courtyards, and promenades featuring outdoor café seating.

The South Bay Town Center project will be rolled out in three phases. EDENS is hoping to start construction later this year and finish the project by the second quarter of 2018.
